Happy Leap Year Day and good luck if you are planning to propose to anyone today. I wonder if females still do that these days ? At Every Inchie Monday this week we have the theme towel. I am sure many of you know by now that all the themes this time are taken from Hitch Hiker's Galaxy and that I haven't read it. Vic has and tries to explain to me where the words fit in--I realise I should ask him first really as my inchies never fit with his definition Moo Mania and More  have chosen something a bit different for their challenge, My Favourite Pet is their theme this time. I haven't any grandchildren but my daughter always has three cats at any given time so I have had lots and lots of 'grandcats' over the years The cats are always from the Cat Protection and trained etc. before you get them. These are the youngest ones that she has now and are twins. I should say terrible twins as they are a real handful though adorable at the same time. Her older cat Felix is qui...

Hi All. Very cold here and a bit of ice so I have decided to use that as an excuse to do a bit of crafting for a change. Thank you for calling in at Jumbled Crafts. Art Journal Journey still have 'If Music Be the Food of Love' as their theme for until the end of February. As it will soon be the 29th of Feb, and a woman can ask a man to marry her on that day, I thought I would go down the bridal path for this digital creation. Lots of layers and different images melded together to create it. Thanks to Sally  for leaving a comment on an earlier knitting post suggesting I might like to try Twiddlemuffs as a project. Well I have done and I took one to the care home where my MIL is staying at the moment. They were delighted so I said I would make more as they have quite a few dementia 'guests' in there.  This is the one I took to the 'hotel' there are things inside and out for the dementia patients to 'play' with as their hands move the whole time. Also th...

Hello Everyone. It's a lovely bright and sunny day today here and hope it nice where you are. Thank you for calling in, always good to have you join me. The tutorial for the Tea Bag holder is here if you want to have a go. Any question please email me. Art Journal Journey have the theme' If Music be the food of Love' chosen by Hazel. It is going very well with wonderful entries A digital page from me today as my time is very limited at the moment with MIL Care Home visiting or going to her flat to collect things she wants in the care home. She wants to go back to her flat ASAP so we will need a truck to take all the stuff back there. She does seem a lot healthier since being there so worth it in the end hopefully. I would also like to enter this at Moo Mania and more as the theme there this time is Hearts Every Inchie Monday has Earth as their subject this week I did a very rough drawing of a globe,difficult to add countries shapes on just an inch. I remember getting a g...

Hi All. Hope you are well and happy and that you enjoy visiting Jumbled Crafts--thank you for calling in. I was just thinking yesterday about how blogs have changed over the years and we are all more friendly. When I first started blogging I got a comment from someone telling me they didn't like me to add 'love from Chrissie' or 'hugs Chrissie' and that most people didn't think it necessary. That was me told off for sure but fortunately not put off. I deleted the comment in case any more thought they would join in. At Art Journal Journey the theme for February is 'If Music be the Food of Love' and there is still lots of time to join in. I painted a page white then stuck on pieces of music paper and part of a bought paper I have had for some time--that is the cherub with the lute. I cut out a heart shape from cardboard then drew around it and used it to add the song title. So now you will be singing along with Phil Collins all day I hope. I will also joi...

Hi All. Hope you are all well and thank you for your visit today. I am sure you are wanting to see what the new challenge is at Try It on Tuesday  and to see what my team mates have made for the challenge. The theme is Transport for the next two week so do join in with your take as you can make anything you like so long as it follows the theme somewhere on your make. I made a card by printing out some stamps I found online with wonderful transport images on them. I am not good at making cards for men at all so I was quite pleased how this turned out. Hope to see what you make for the challenge Have  a great day Love Chrissie xx

Happy New Week everyone and thank you for joining me here at Jumbled Crafts. Cold and wet here so far today with a forecast for snow that never seems to arrive-not sure if that is good or bad as I do like the brightness of snow but the awful slush afterwards isn't very pleasant. I have  a lot of crafty projects on the go but none of them seem to get finished at the moment except for things that can be done while I watch the rugby on television. This week at Every Inchie Monday the theme is beer-so cheers to all of you as I  raise a tankard of foaming Ale. Rugby watching and knitting go very well together and particularly if it is in chunky wool and very big needles. My daughter brought lots of these patterns and the wool to knit them for the Cat Protection Fund Raising. I thought they would be nice little pyjamas cases but these would fit the nightwear of all the family in them I think. They each took the time of three rugby matches last weekend and this weekend so not long ...

Hi All! Thank you for dropping by today. It is very cold here and we had Jack Frost patterns on the outside of our conservatory windows. Not seen many of those since I was child and then they were on the inside of the windows. I seem to be a bit stuck for ideas with normal crafting so I keep going digital which I find easier and I can do from the comfort of my armchair in front of the fire. I must be getting old I think. At Digitally Swee t the theme is spots and stripes and at Moo Mania and More they are asking for Hearts. I have made a Valentine card for Vic as we both love to go to Whitby and see the Goths I have lots of the digital stamps from but it is a long time since I used any of them. At Dezinaworld15  the theme this week is Candlelight. I went down a weird route and used one of 'Dezinaworld' June's free images as a background 'Her bridegroom's gravestone was lit by a single candle and Miranda was guided to it on what should have been the 100th anniversary...
